In which mode are you using the controller?

I had some trouble configuring mine with a couple of buttons when it was in X-input mode (X + Start when turning on the controller). Some of buttons were showing up as analog axes instead of button presses. I solved it by changing the mode to either Switch mode (Y + Start) or D-input (B + Start) and re-configuring the controller.

I think part of the problem is EmulationStation doesn't want you to use an Axis when configuring certain buttons. Not sure if this could be fixed in the auto configuration. I believe you could manually edit the controller config to get around that though.

Awesome, thank you!

Ran the test and determined only the standard 4 buttons are registering. The additional buttons from the 6 button pad do not appear.

I did have this working on previous RetroPies, and also just tested it on my PC and confirmed that all buttons are being registered there. Perhaps I'll reach out to RetroUsb and see if there's a recent compatibility issue.

Appreciate the help.

@f4cepa1m Worked well, thanks for sharing!

Hey, @markyh444 , cheers!

@cole_eliot good luck. I tried to put a Pi Zero into a MK2 pad and ended up having to mount it on the back instead as there was nowhere near enough room for me to mount inside.
Yeah, I could see if have no chance there, I'm thinking a botched, non-standard, undercarriage that doesn't give me too much width and it'll be fine. As long as I can leverage the screws, etc, on the original pads casings, then I might be ok.
It is a really well built pad though, and well worth an attempt to turn into a handheld.

If you need any ideas, link to my project site is below.

Aye. As you can tell, I'm pretty fond of it.

I'll definitely go check out your site, I imagine I'll come across half the nasty issues that you did, too. I may also steal your ideas! Thanks!

For a really rough sketch of what I'm trying to do here (I'm no artist!):

Obviously missing its curves 😉

I'm thinking if I make it longer (at the pad end) to keep the screen central, I could get more room inside to keep it slimmer.

Look, it's not going to be pretty, but if I can get something vaguely presentable (might have to go matt finish), which works, then I'm on to a winner, and I'll consider making another but a bit more ... well made ;-)

Did you read the documentation?
